Forecasts

Instant Tendance (10/3), East Side (7/2), Shaving (11/2), Lady Bluebird (6/1), Cool Lady Too (17/2), Glendaars Fortune (12/1), An Cailin Ciuin (14/1), The Diddler (14/1), Milanaway (16/1), Roxhill Roise (18/1), Slotty Dotty (28/1), Bee Bright (28/1), Nells Choice (33/1), Nothing Hectic (50/1), Dansanttothetune (80/1), Spanish Maid (100/1), Little Green Lady (100/1), Heure Exacte (250/1)

INSTANT TENDANCE showed a lot more when third in a novice hurdle at Navan 42 days ago and she's seemingly found a weak race back in this sphere, so this could provide a good opportunity to get off the mark. East Side has the best bumper form and looks a danger, while point winner Roxhill Roise warrants a mention.
